A Veri-park 'Free Flow' parking system from the APT Controls Group has been successfully installed at the Sury Basin car park in Kingston-Upon-Thames, which services the town's Sainsbury's Superstore and Virgin Active Health Club.
Prior to the Veri-park installation, a pay and display system was operated within the car park. In light of the Sainsbury's store's planned refurbishment, customers were asked to complete a survey, where an overwhelming response showed there was a requirement for a more user-friendly car parking system.
A Veri-park Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR), parking system was chosen so that customers no longer need to carry coins and display a ticket. The system works so that if a customer stays less than 30 minutes in the car park, there is no charge and if a customer stays longer than 30 minutes, but spends more than £10 in the superstore, customers can validate a discount voucher given to them by Sainsbury's at a terminal outside the store in order to receive two hours free parking.
This installation of the Veri-park system with a validation function for supermarket customers, is the first of its kind within a supermarket environment and has been well received with customers noting its benefits.
APT is a €37 million Group of companies whose expertise helps address key issues in parking access control and payment systems, electrical vehicle (EV) charging, support structure for traffic signs and signals, road safety systems, and crowd control systems. Its portfolio also includes vehicle blockers, barriers, bollards and other similar counter-terror hardware. The Group, which has operated in the UK for 45 years, employs 170 staff across two sites.

"Next Level" is a song recorded by South Korean girl group Aespa. It was released digitally on May 17, 2021, by SM Entertainment. Composed by Yoo Young-jin, Adam McInnis, Mario Marchetti, and Sophie Curtis, the track is described as a dance and hip hop song with an upbeat jazz bridge. The song is a continuation of the group's story from their debut single "Black Mamba", telling their journey into the fictional Kwangya universe to search for the aforementioned "evil".

Upon its release, "Next Level" received positive reviews from critics for its hip-hop production and the members' performance. The song is the group's first top-five hit in their native country, their second top-five entry on the Billboard World Digital Song Sales chart, and their second entry on the Billboard Global 200, making Aespa only the third South Korean girl group to appear on the global chart more than once. It eventually achieved several accolades by the end of 2021 and 2022, most notably both the Best K-Pop Song and Song of the Year at the 19th Korean Music Awards, making aespa the first SM idol girl group to win more than once within the awards, and the second girl group in the award's history to win the latter category, following fellow labelmate Girls' Generation's victory in 2010.

Background and release
On May 4, 2021, South Korean news outlet Ilgan Sports reported that the Aespa was in the final stages of preparation for their much-anticipated comeback. The report was subsequently confirmed by SM Entertainment, adding that other details of the comeback would be disclosed at a later date. On May 5, the group released a cryptic teaser to the single on social media and confirmed the comeback date to be May 17. From May 7 to 10, teaser images were released for each individual group member (in order: Karina, Winter, Giselle, Ningning). The song was released on May 17.

Composition

"Next Level" was composed by Yoo Young-jin, Adam McInnis, Mario Marchetti, and Sophie Curtis. In addition, SM Entertainment's founder and producer Lee Soo-man helped Aespa add a "distinctive color to the song". The song remakes A$ton Wyld's song of the same name, which featured on the soundtrack of Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw. In an interview with ReacttotheK, McInnis revealed that SM contacted him regarding a possible remake of the song. He stated that most of the changes done in it are done by SM and only the company would send different versions of the song to him.

Musically, "Next Level" is a dance and hip hop song with a "groovy" rap and an "energetic" bass riff, showcasing Aespa's "powerful voice and variety". Yeom Dong-gyo of IZM noted the "original hip-hop sound" of the song. Mariel Abanes of NME described it as a "fierce dance-pop song in a futuristic world". Divyansha Dongre of Rolling Stone India called the song an "energetic EDM anthem", while noting the "switch in composition and arrangement to match the group's unique style". Moreover, Dongre recognized the "rhythm switches mid-track with an upbeat-jazz inspired composition". Karina mentioned that it is a "groovy and energetic with a dynamic musical arrangement" song, while mentioning that they have tried bringing more power to the single through their voices. It is composed in the key of B minor, with a tempo of 109 beats per minute. The lyrics detail the group's journey into a fictional universe, Kwangya, in search of an evil being called the Black Mamba. The group revealed that the song is a sequel to "Black Mamba" (2020), during which the connection to their ae was cut off.

Critical reception
Following its release, "Next Level" was met with mixed to positive reviews from music critics. Hakyung Kate Lee of ABC News recognized the song's "astonishing popularity", further explaining that the song was "powered by a unique concept of Aespa's identity and story". Hugh McIntyre of Forbes noted the tune for bringing Aespa to the upper half of the ranking chart for the first time, further adding that "it helps them join a very exclusive club of some of the most successful girl groups from South Korea". In an individual song review, writer Yeom Dong-gyo of IZM noted the track for Karina and Giselle's "sophisticated rap", further praising Winter's high-pitched part that "energizes the bridge, smoothly weaving the changing composition of the song" and rated it three stars out of five. Third of Idology commented on the "ridiculous composition" of the song, but called it as "quite attractive". Moreover, Third described composition of the song as an intention to function as a kind of an original soundtrack rather than an independent song.

Localia Televisión, también conocida como Localia TV o simplemente Localia, fue una red de televisiones locales repartidas por España. Comenzó emitiendo programas para adultos solitarios en todo el territorio español en el año 1999 y cesó sus emisiones a comienzos del año 2009 excepto en Galicia, ya que la delegación gallega no pertenecía a Pretesa (Grupo Prisa), operadora de la extinta red española de Localia, la cual sigue operando bajo el nombre de Utega TV Galicia.

A los dueños mayoritarios de Localia TV se les adjudicó a nivel nacional la cadena de TV Cuatro en noviembre de 2005, que sustituía a Canal+ (canal analógico de pago), motivo por el cual ya no les interesaba la red de canales Localia TV, el cual además no emitía en muchas zonas de España, sobre todo en las comunidades en que gobernaba el Partido Popular a excepción de Madrid y Valencia.

Historia
Localia nació a finales del año 2000 en Madrid, cuando el grupo PRISA compró Tele Ocio. Desde entonces se fue ampliando este conglomerado de televisiones locales hasta que llegó a contar con más de 90 canales, bien comprados por PRISA, bien en régimen de asociación.

Todas estas televisiones locales emitían con la misma imagen corporativa y difundían contenidos comunes, como en la radio. Las televisiones de Localia emitían películas, teleseries y contenido locales dependiendo de la zona en la que se encontraban, incluyendo informativos, debates, programas de sucesos y culturales, respetando la ley que disponía que las cadenas locales deben emitir al menos cuatro horas diarias de producción propia en horario de máxima audiencia.

Desde 2007 Localia estuvo inmersa en el proceso de concesiones de licencias de Televisión Digital Terrestre (TDT). El gobierno central impuso como finales de 2005 la fecha tope para resolver estos concursos, aunque aún no han sido adjudicados todos. De los resueltos, Localia obtuvo licencias autonómicas en Andalucía, Asturias, Baleares, Extremadura y Navarra, así como redes locales en Aragón, Cataluña, Galicia, Comunidad Valenciana y finalmente Andalucía. En el centro de la red de emisoras, la Comunidad de Madrid, Localia TV no logró la adjudicación de ni una sola de las 70 licencias que concedió el Gobierno Regional en 2008.

El 13 de noviembre de 2008 Pretesa comunicó la decisión de cesar las actividades de todas las emisoras de Localia entre 2008 y 2009. El Grupo Prisa alegó, como razón para el cierre de sus canales locales, la situación económica española y la crisis publicitaria en el sector, afirmando además la existencia de «dificultades e incoherencias» en el marco audiovisual español y la arbitrariedad política en el proceso de concesiones de licencias. El cierre se aplica para las emisoras de las que Prisa es propietaria a partir del 31 de diciembre de 2008, y afecta a más de 250 trabajadores. Algunas de las emisoras asociadas a la red declaran, días más tarde, que seguirán emitiendo en solitario.

Programación

Localia ofrecía una programación de carácter generalista, combinando las franjas de emisión en cadena con las desconexiones locales de cada operador. Si bien emitía algunos programas de producción propia, esencialmente en el ámbito local, la mayor parte de sus contenidos en cadena son producciones de compra externa.

Entre los programas de producción propia destacados a lo largo de sus años de emisión, figuraron Punto G, dirigido y presentado por Goyo González, Hoy no hay siesta, a cargo de Juanjo de la Iglesia y Antonio López-Guitián Tonino y La cucaracha exprés, con Javier Gurruchaga.

En sus servicios informativos, ejerció como presentador el periodista Jaime Cantizano, antes de saltar a la fama en Antena 3 TV.

La cadena mantenía acuerdos con productoras de documentales como la BBC, National Geographic o Discovery. Desde septiembre de 2003, tras llegar a un acuerdo con Audiovisual Sport, Localia ofreció retransmisiones de los partidos de la Segunda División de España de fútbol.

Además, transmitía en distintos horarios varias telenovelas argentinas que llegaron a ser muy exitosas como Rebelde Way, Alma Pirata, o El Refugio, entre otros programas.

Desde el 2009 varios canales de televisión local que emitían bajo la marca Localia se sumarán a partir del próximo 14 de noviembre de 2009 a la programación de Central de Telecontenidos (CTC), empresa de servicios de contenidos audiovisuales para televisiones locales del empresario José María Besteiro.

Entre los nuevos clientes de CTC que antes ofrecían la programación de Localia, se encuentran televisiones locales de distintos puntos de España como Utega Televigo, Utega Coruña, Utega Ferrol, Utega Lugo, Utega Pontevedra, Utega Santiago de Compostela, Granada Televisión, UNA TV Jerez, Canal Luz (Huelva y Sevilla), Televisión Ronda, UNA Bahía (Localia Cádiz-Área metropolitana de la Bahía de Cádiz-Jerez), Canal 19 Televisión (Localia Sierra de Cádiz), Teleasturias y Huesca TV.

Audiencias
Localia fue la cadena local más vista de España en 2006 según TNS, con una audiencia media de 3.369.000 espectadores diarios y una cuota de pantalla de 0,7%. Este éxito se produjo gracias a la emisión de la exitosa serie argentina Rebelde Way.

Repitió liderazgo en su sector en 2007, con una media de 3.042.000 espectadores y 0,5% de share.

En contraste con los datos de audiencia de numerosas emisoras provinciales, la central de la red, Localia TV Madrid, tuvo que enfrentarse desde el principio a problemas de antenización que condicionaron su capacidad de llegar a la audiencia.

Se da la circunstancia de que, en 2001, Localia rechazó asumir la emisión del conocido programa de prensa rosa Tómbola tras la decisión de la dirección de Telemadrid de eliminarlo de su parrilla. El programa, y su audiencia, terminaron recalando en Canal 7.

Canales
A noviembre de 2008, la red de Localia estaba integrada por 96 canales analógicos, dando cobertura al 84% de las poblaciones con más de 50.000 habitantes de España.

Cese de emisiones
En enero de 2009 el Grupo Prisa cierra la red Localia TV, declarando que las emisoras propiedad 100% de Pretesa, cesarán su actividad, o serán vendidas en caso de tener licencia TDT. La mayoría de las cadenas supervivientes irán cambiando progresivamente los contenidos de la red Localia por contenidos de la red Distrivisión, aunque otras emisoras podrían optar por proveedores de contenidos alternativos.

A partir de junio de 2009 las cadenas que seguían perteneciendo a Prisa-Pretesa fueron puestas a la venta: si habían conseguido licencia TDT se vendía la cadena, y las que no fueron vendidas íntegramente a European Home Shopping TV (Ehs.TV). Aquellas emisoras que ya no pertenecían a Prisa-Pretesa en junio de 2009 siguen emitiendo como emisoras independientes, sin relación alguna con ésta o sus sucesores.

Q: If a function is injective in category of finite sets, then retraction exists? Definitions
A map$f: A \rightarrow B$ is injective if statement P: ($x_1, x_2: T \rightarrow A$) $f \circ x_1=f \circ x_2$ implies $x_1=x_2$ holds for every $T$ and and every $x_1, x_2$.
A map $r: B \rightarrow A$ is a retraction for a map $f: A \rightarrow B$ iff $r \circ f=1_A$.
I am doing problem in second column of following snapshot's table, i.e. finding number of retractions that can exist for a given map $j:A \rightarrow X$.

I thought that authors falsely assume that if $j$ is injective, then atleast 1 retraction exist in their statement: "unless $j$ is injective, there will be no retraction for $j$", because injective map does not imply existence of retraction if $|A| = 0$ and $|X| > 0$.

A: While writing this question, my doubt has cleared up and I realized that authors meant that, if $j$ is not injective, then there does not exist any retraction in category of finite sets.
In fact, existence of retraction $r:B \rightarrow A$ to a morphism $f: A \rightarrow B$ implies that $f$ is injective in any category. The proof as follows:
Suppose $x_1, x_2: T \rightarrow A$.
Now, to prove that $f$ is injective, one only needs to show that if $f \circ x_1 = f \circ x_2$ then $x_1=x_2$.
Using identity axiom:
$$x_1=1_A \circ x_1$$
Now, it is known that $r \circ f=1_A$, therefore
$$x_1=(r \circ f) \circ x_1$$
Now, using associativity axiom,
$$x_1 = r \circ (f \circ x_1)$$
Now, use $f \circ x_1 = f\circ x_2$,
$$x_1=r \circ (f \circ x_2)$$
Now, again use associative identity,
$$x_1=(r \circ f) \circ x_2$$
Since, $r \circ f=1_A$
$$x_1=1_A \circ x_2$$
Using identity axiom,
$$x_1 = x_2$$
Therefore, $f$ is injective.

Celebrity Gossip and Entertainment News | Lily-Rose Depp joins Dreamland cast
Lily-Rose Depp joins Dreamland cast
Zap Gossip News	/ March 1, 2019
Lily-Rose Depp has joined the cast of 'Dreamland'.
The 19-year-old actress and model – who is the daughter of Johnny Depp and Vanessa Paradis – is set to star in the opioid crisis thriller alongside Greg Kinnear, 55, and Michelle Rodriguez, 40, according to Variety.
The trio of stars will join Gary Oldman, Armie Hammer and Evangeline Lilly in the upcoming film, billed as the first theatrical film to tackle the international opioid crisis, which is being directed by Nicholas Jarecki from his original script.
The drama will follow the story of a university professor (Oldman) he makes a disturbing discovery about his employer, a pharmaceutical company with profound government influence bringing a new "non-addictive" painkiller to market.
A drug trafficker (Hammer) who organises a multi-cartel operation moving Fentanyl between the US and Canada and an architect who is recovering from an OxyContin addiction who discovers the truth behind her son who is also involved with drugs.
Lilly is set to play the troubled but brilliant sister of Hammer's drug trafficker while Gregg plays a university dean whose friendship with Oldman's university professor is put at risk by his drug addiction, and Michelle is set to portray a DEA supervisor.
Jarecki hopes the forthcoming film will give the devastating opioid crisis a "human face" and impact audiences everywhere.
In a statement, he said: "The devastating impact of the opioid crisis reaches all corners of society, Gary, Armie and Evangeline are the perfect performers to bring the human face of this epidemic to audiences everywhere."
Jarecki and Cassian Elwes financed the project together through Jarecki's Green Room Films and its continuing relationship with MUFG Union Bank and will also produce the film while Michael Suppes, Douglas Urbanski and Tony Hsieh will executive produce.
Shooting is already is underway with Montreal and Detroit being used as the shooting locations.

You can stop worrying about loans and financing right now.
Feel free to get in touch with these preferred mortgage partners to go over which financing options are right for you.
The right loan for you depends on where you want to build, how much downpayment you want to use, and how large or small you want your monthly payments. Here are a few scenarios.
You will need a "construction to perm" loan. You can get a conventional, FHA, or USDA loan.
A Land/Build package loan is right for you. The bank will finance the vacant land and pay the builder as we hit certain goals during construction.
Use USDA or FHA so you don't have to come up with a lot of cash for closing. USDA can do 100% financing and FHA does 3.5% financing. A 30 year fixed interest rate loan will give you a lower payment and peace of mind from knowing that your payment will not change over the years.
You probably want to pay as little in interest as possible. Ask about 15 year loans so you can pay off your house quickly and get lower interest rates.
Are you human? What is 2 plus 1?


I will start my definition of what makes a track Progressive Rock (the music genre) by using an original set of rules analysed by Jerry Lucky in his book "The Progressive Rock Files" which I recommend to read as well as I recommend to read "Progressive Rock Reconsidered" by Kevin Holm-Hudson in order to get even more details and analysis about Prog Rock music.
1) Songs predominantly on the longish side, but structured, rarely improvised. Longish side usually means more than 4 minutes long.
2) A mixture of loud passages, soft passages and musical crescendos to add dynamics to the arrangements. This is a very important factor to distinguish between Prog Metal and what I call Technic Metal, for example, in fact the latter rarely presents dynamics (this is why I personally believe that bands like Mastodont are not progressive, they are technic metal).
3) The use of Mellotron, synthesizers and synthesised strings to simulate an orchestra backing.
4) The possible inclusion of live Symphony Orchestra backing or (at moments) becoming pre-dominant over the Rock music instruments (but never becoming predominant for the entire track).
5) Extended instrumental solos, perhaps involving some improvisation (improvisation never become enough to override the first point!).
6) The inclusion of musical form other than a rock format (songs should present some jazz, classical, folk, ethnic, electronica etc… elements, other than just Rock or Metal).
7) A blending of acoustic, electric and electronic instruments where each plays a VITAL ROLE in translating the EMOTION of compositions which typically contain MORE THAN ONE MOOD. In other words a prog song rarely starts with a mood and keep it for the entire evolution of the song, this is another reason why technical metal is different (deeply different) than progressive metal.
8) Multi-movement compositions that may or may not return to a musical theme. In some cases the end section may bear little resemblance to the first part of the song.
9) Compositions created from UNRELATED PARTS.
What we can deduct from these rules is that Progressive Rock and Progressive Metal are two music genres strictly orientated to MUSIC COMPOSITION, therefore they require exceptional compositional skills more than exceptional execution skills. The reason why Progressive Rock Metal bands present exceptional execution skills is a consequence of the extreme compositions they generally create.
In fact, in Prog Rock, compositional techniques like Counterpoint are brought to the extreme form where multiple instruments can play multiple "countrapunctual" melodies creating so incredible polyphonic compositions that may be consonant or dissonant at times or in alternance. Monophony in progressive rock is rare and when used is for specific reasons.
So, WHEN a track is progressive? Well when the track presents the majority if not all the points discussed.
Hope this post will help to clarify the differences and the characteristics of a music genre that is still gathering, after many decades, attentions of the public and of musicians world-wide.


YONKERS, NY — Consumer Reports has created a new consumer information program for child seat safety by updating its test procedures to better reflect current vehicle conditions.
Carefully developed over a 2.5-year period, Consumer Reports' new crash tests provide consumers with comparative information on infant car seats' potential for offering an extra margin of safety. The organization evaluated the seats' performance on a scale that ranks seats from those that had the least potential to offer that extra margin ("basic") to seats under crash conditions similar to those simulated that had the most potential ("best"). Consumer Reports' focus on that extra margin is due to the fact that any car seat sold in the United States already must provide an essential level of safety under the government standards it must meet.
The new simulated frontal impact crash tests reflect the use of seat benches that more closely reflect the average car's back-seat cushion size, shape and stiffness; the addition of a surface that simulates the front seatback to more closely represent an actual vehicle environment (to determine the effect when the car seat or the child's head comes in contact with the seatback during a crash); and an increase in the speed of the tests from 30 mph to 35 mph.
A full description of Consumer Reports' new infant child seat crash test protocol, and the newest ratings for 34 infant seats currently on the market, are available at www.consumerreports.org.
To create this new test, Consumer Reports extensively studied published research on pediatric biomechanics and child-injury patterns in vehicle crashes. The organization also analyzed crash-test videos and data from crashes conducted by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and Transport Canada, and conferred with other child passenger safety and automotive safety experts.
In addition to the crash test, CR also performed in-house testing of both ease-of-use and fit-to-vehicle assessments on each seat. The organization then combined the results of those three tests to determine the overall rating for each car seat, giving more weight to the combined scores of the ease-of-use and fit-to-vehicle testing than to the crash performance testing because optimal crash protection cannot be expected without proper use and secure installation.
If consumers are looking for seats at a slightly lower price point, but that still perform well overall, consider some of Consumer Reports' "Best Buys," including the Safety 1st Comfy Carry Elite Plus and the Graco SnugRide 30 Classic Connect and Safety 1st Onboard 35.
Don't wait until the last minute to install the car seat. When you're expecting a baby, there are many things that have to be done, but don't leave the car seat installation until the last minute. The best way to make sure the seat is installed correctly and that you know how to properly secure your baby in the seat is to take the time to get familiar with the seat and its instructions and to go to a car seat check up event hosted by safekids.org. A Certified Child Passenger Safety Technician will help you make sure the seat is properly installed and teach you the dos and don'ts of car seat safety.
Do not put bulky blankets or coats inside the harness. Swaddling is a common practice with infants, but when placing your baby in an infant seat, it is very important that the harness is snug enough against the baby's lightly clothed body. No harness webbing should be able to be pinched between the thumb and forefinger. Tightening the harness straps over swaddling blankets or puffy clothing can leave undetected slack in the harness, which can lead to an increased chance of injury, or even ejection from the seat during a crash. For extra warmth, tighten the harness first and then place the jacket or blanket on top of the child and harness.
Position the harness straps correctly. The proper positioning for the harness straps for a rear-facing child is at or below the shoulders. This will prevent the child from moving upward in the seat in the event of a crash. It is also important to check the straps often since kids grow quickly. Consequently, the harness may need to be frequently adjusted.
Position the chest clip correctly. The purpose of the chest clip is to keep the harness in the correct position right before a crash. Technicians often see the chest clip positioned either too low, which can result in shoulder straps not fitting correctly, or too high, which can cause breathing issues. The proper place for the chest clip is at armpit level.
Pay attention to your child's height as well as weight. A child that is too tall for their car seat is at an increased risk of head injury during a crash. All car seats have a height AND weight limit. According to the CDC growth charts, a child is actually more likely to outgrow many infant car seats in height before they reach the maximum weight limit of the seat, so be sure to pay attention to your child's height relative to the shell of the seat and compare it to the height limit of the car seat.
Child car seats have come a long way since Consumer Reports first crash-tested them for the August 1972 issue of Consumer Reports magazine, when CR rated 12 out of 15 of them as Not Acceptable. Between 1972 and 1977, child seats were tested four times, which made Consumer Reports the only publication at the time that regularly crash-tested these seats and reported the results to both consumers and the government. The day after the organization released its 1974 report, the government proposed a stronger child-restraint standard. As of January 1, 1981, all manufacturers of child seats had to certify that their seats passed a dynamic crash test in compliance with government safety standards.


Nigeria and the State of Qatar on Sunday, in Doha, signed Bilateral Air Services Agreement (BASA) to pave way for direct flights between major cities of both countries.
Both countries also signed an agreement to avoid double taxation and tax evasion on the sideline of President Muhammadu Buhari's state visit to Qatar.
Minister of Finance, Mrs Kemi Adeosun, signing the agreement for the avoidance of double taxation and the prevention of fiscal evasion with her Qatari counterpart, Ali Shareef Al Emadi.
The Minister of State for Aviation, Senator Hadi Sirika, representing President Muhammadu Buhari, signed the air services agreement on behalf of the country while Qatar's Minister of Transportation and Communications, Jassim Bin Saif Alsulaiti, signed on behalf the Emir of Qatar, Sheikh Tamim Bin Hammad Al-Thani.
The agreement which was signed in the presence of both leaders is expected to pave way for more direct flights between major cities of both countries on the principle of reciprocity by the designated airlines on behalf of the country.
Sirika said after the signing of the agreement that the accord would promote trade, commerce, tourism and travel between both countries.
"Qatar is the richest country in the world at the moment in terms of per capita income, their economy is strong and their national carrier, Qatar airlines, is one of the most viable and most focused in the industry.
"They (Qatar airlines) presently fly to Nigeria but they want to fly to more cities and with the focus of the present administration in Nigeria on establishing a national carrier, we have commenced discussions on how we can partner with countries like Qatar in our quest to establish a national carrier".
The Minister of Finance, Mrs Kemi Adeosun, who signed the agreement for the avoidance of double taxation and the prevention of fiscal evasion with respect to taxes income with her Qatari counterpart, Ali Shareef Al Emadi, expressed delight that the agreement which was negotiated since February 2015 has been finalised.
"What is symbolic in this agreement is that the Qataris who are already investing heavily in Nigeria will bring in more investments because the earlier lack of an agreement to avoid double taxation was a stumbling block to some of the investors.
"I am very confident that the signing of this agreement will bring much more investment and business between Qatar and Nigeria," she told reporters after signing the agreement.
In his remarks to journalists, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Mr Geofrey Onyeama, said President Buhari and Sheikh Al-Thani had fruitful discussions on security, oil price stability, and the fight against corruption in Nigeria.
"The Qatari leader acknowledged that President Buhari has really created an enabling environment for businesses to thrive in the country.
"The Emir made the point on the war against corruption in Nigeria and the progress President Buhari is making in that front and they are of the opinion that if that problem is addressed with focused polices, the country will progress.
"The Emir also made it clear that the Qatari's are ready to invest in Nigeria in a big way", he said.


Located at Longgu Hill, about 50km southwest of Beijing's downtown area, this early human site has been shown to be the richest and most comprehensive site. The site was entered into the World Heritage List without an application.
The main cave measures 140 meters from east to west and 53 meters from north to south. At twilight on a cold early winter's evening in 1929, with the help of a lighted candle, archaeologists crawled into the space of this cave and found the extraordinary discovery of a complete early hominid cranium from 500,000 years ago. The name given to it was China Primitive Man, Beijing-type. Or, in short, Beijing Man.
Beijing Man left several tens of thousands of Paleolithic stone tools behind him in this and neighboring caves, made in many shapes and from many types of stone. These can be seen in the exhibition cases of the museum.
Through long periods of experimentation, Beijing Man became familiar with the different uses and chipping qualities of different kinds of stone. Beijing Mans use of fire deserves special mention: these people were in possession of the knowledge of how use fire to cook food, stay warm, give light, and keep off wild animals. The use of fire delineated an epoch-making chapter in the history of man's advancement.

Q: Why ESP32 is not receiving the sending wifi signals? I'm developing a project on wifi-range extending using two ESP32 WROOM 32 modules as transmitter and receiver. So far I have completed the transmission side  & it gives the following output for the given Arduino code.
Transmitter output in the serial monitor
In the receiver side I,m encountering an error.
The error is, though the transmitter transmitting the offer of IP to the receiver, the receiver is config to LR mode & only prints that the error is 0 and the "Mode LR OK" and continuously printing "." s. After that it is not connected to the Wifi transmitter ESP32. The output obtained from the receiver side is the following.
Receiver Output in the serial monitor.
The part of the code which is not working is the following.

    WiFi.begin(ssid, password);

        //Wifi connection, we connect to the transmitter
        while (WiFi.status() != WL_CONNECTED)
        {
          delay(500);
          Serial.print(".");
        }

        Serial.println("WiFi connected");
        Serial.print("IP address: ");
        Serial.println(WiFi.localIP());

        udp.begin( 8888 );
        }

    void loop() {
         //If there is a problems whith connection
        if ( WiFi.status() != WL_CONNECTED )
        {
            Serial.println( "|" );
            int tries = 0;
            WiFi.begin( ssid, password );
            while( WiFi.status() != WL_CONNECTED ) {
                tries++;
                if ( tries == 5 )
                    return;
                Serial.println( toStr( WiFi.status() ) );
                delay( 1000 );
            }
            Serial.print( "Connected " );
            Serial.println( WiFi.localIP() );
        }
        //if connection is OK, execute command 'b' from master
        int size = udp.parsePacket();
        if ( size == 0 )
            return;
        char c = udp.read();
        if ( c == 'b' ){
            digitalWrite(5, !digitalRead(5));//toggle Led
            Serial.println("RECEIVED!");
            Serial.println(millis());
        }
        udp.flush();
        }

So the thing I need to know is why is it not connecting to the Wifi from the transmitter ESP32?

A: Hmmm - don't know about potential coding issues, but I can see IPs from two different subnets (192.168.115.42 vs. 192.168.4.1) in your transmitter output. Are you sure both - transmitter and receiver - are in the same IP subnet?

The Fairest sandals feature embroidery and crystals.
As Footwear News first reported, Ruthie Davis has partnered with Disney to produce special collections inspired by the 11 Disney princesses. First up to receive her own capsule of shoes is Snow White — tying to the fact that "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs," which debuted 80 years ago, was The Walt Disney Company's first full-length animated motion picture — and Ruthie Davis and Disney have exclusively shared a first look at the assortment with FN.
The Grumpy sneakers have a platform sole and are embellished with crystals along the closure.
Eight styles are included in the range, which are grounded in the designer's trademark show-stopping stilettos while platform booties and even a printed sneaker also make their mark. Among Davis' favorites are the custom leather Good vs. Evil booties — a classic silhouette of her brand — which were handmade in Italy and feature embroidered Snow White and the Evil Queen faces.
"The right foot is Snow White and the left is the Evil Queen, telling a story on a pair of shoes. They are wearable black booties, but the cartoon faces add such a fun, inspiring pop," said Davis.
The Good vs. Evil leather booties.
On the fairer side of things, Davis also called out the suede Friend of the Forest heels in blush as one of her key loves.
"They are more subtle in their link to Snow White. The feeling of the style is very Art Deco, which was of the period when Snow White was launched by Disney. They are soft suede and very enchanting with flower petals and forest vines ending in lacing that wraps around the ankle and ties with tulip tassels," said the designer.
The Friend of the Forest heel in calf suede.
A partner to the leather Good vs. Evil bootie comes in the form of a velvet option that pays homage to some of the film's most endearing characters. The Seven Dwarfs booties in "Snow White" blue feature plexi heels with a jovial dwarf design. A "fairest of them all" inscription can be found across the upper of the shoes as another nod to the classic flick.
The Seven Dwarfs velvet plexi heels featuring a dwarf design.
Davis took further inspiration from the Dwarfs for the Diamond Mine sandals. The sleek black style features a criss-cross ankle strap and a multicolored diamond embellishment along the toe strap.
The Diamond Mine sandals are offered in velvet.
The Evil Queen also gets more shine in the collection as the Rotten Apple heels and Heart & Dagger sandals touch on the wicked ways of the movie's villain. While the Rotten Apple platforms feature a glittery apple detail to amp up the enchantment, Davis went full glam with the Heart & Dagger sandals which are adorned with Swarovski crystals.
The Rotten Apple heels feature a glitter apple embellishment.
"I already have a list of young celebrities clamoring for a pair. Millennials and younger women have a special connection with the Disney Princesses," Davis said when asked who she envisions sporting the shoes.
"They grew up with these strong female role models and view them as powerful and independent. They feel the connection to these Princesses and their stories. I would love to see Kaia Gerber, Laura Herrier, Emma Stone, Ariana Grande, Zendaya, Hailey Baldwin and many more in my shoes from this collection," she continued.
The Heart & Dagger sandals feature Swarovski crystals.
As for styling the collection, Davis has some ideas as well.
"These shoes are very special and they include a lot of details and adornment. I recommend making the shoes the star of an outfit and to keep the rest of the look more minimal and monochromatic. Let the shoes shine! On the other hand, there is also the trend happening now where more is more with a street vibe. I would also like to see these shoes with the layered, multi material, jeans, sweats looks happening — love to see the stiletto heel styles worn with ankle socks," she added.
The collection will range from $498 to $798 and will be available beginning in Jan. 2018 on ruthiedavis.com.

A Catedral Metropolitana de Uberaba é um templo católico localizado no centro da cidade de Uberaba, no estado brasileiro de Minas Gerais. É sede da Arquidiocese de Uberaba,  cuja jurisdição abrange 20 municípios do Triângulo Mineiro e Alto Paranaíba.

A Catedral também sedia uma paróquia cujo titular é o Sagrado Coração de Jesus e cujos padroeiros são Santo Antônio e São Sebastião. A paróquia possui três capelas a ela subordinadas: a Capela São Pedro e São Paulo, no Jockey Parque, e a Capela da Casa de Saúde São José. Atualmente, a Catedral está sob a administração do pároco Monsenhor Valmir Ribeiro.

História
A criação da paróquia do Sagrado Coração de Jesus em Uberaba data de 2 de março de 1820, vinculada à então Diocese de Goiás. Após tomar posse como Bispo de Goiás em 1890, Dom Eduardo Duarte e Silva solicitou ao Vaticano que fosse criada uma diocese a ser sediada em Uberaba, devido à grande extensão territorial da Diocese de Goiás. O Vaticano, no entanto, condicionou a criação da diocese à construção de uma catedral, uma vez que a igreja matriz de Uberaba encontrava-se em péssimas condições. A construção do novo templo foi concluída em 30 de setembro de 1905, mas ele só foi inaugurado em 27 de janeiro de 1907. Assim, com a criação da Diocese de Uberaba em 29 de setembro de 1907, o novo templo passou à condição de catedral. Tornou-se Catedral Metropolitana com a elevação da diocese a Arquidiocese de Uberaba em 14 de abril de 1962.

Embora tenha passado por sucessivas reformas desde sua construção, a catedral conserva seu estilo neogótico na arquitetura, o que a torna uma atração turística da cidade de Uberaba.

The first case got an unexpected turn after executive editor of news website Analitik.am Ani Hovhannisyan arrested on charges of extorting money from MP Tigran Urikhanyan accused Russian Ambassador to Armenia Ivan Volynkin of ordering the fabrication of a case against her. She claimed her website was investigating the alleged lobbying activities of Ambassador Volynkin of the interests of VTB Bank in Armenia. Hovhannisyan argued that VTB is a bank with Azerbaijani capital, and that Volynkin has been promoting the interests of this bank in Armenia. In particular, recently the Armenian parliament approved the decision to write off the debts of the Hrazdan cement plant, which was taken over by VTB as unredeemed pledge.
The Russian Embassy has already responded by strongly denying the accusations of Hovhannisyan. It also denies that Tigran Urikhanyan or anyone else is an agent of Russia.
Hovhannisyan demands that a probe be launched in connection with the Russian ambassador's activities in Armenia. Armenian law-enforcement agencies are in no hurry to do so yet, and experts attribute this to the reluctance to spoil the already bleak Armenian-Russian relations, as well as the relationship between the director of Armenia's National Security Service and MP Urikhanyan. On the other hand, it is also clear that ambassadors enjoy diplomatic immunity that makes them not susceptible to lawsuit or prosecution under the host country's laws.
The possibility of a second case against Russia is connected with the developments in the trial of a Russian soldier charged with killing a seven-member Armenian family in Gyumri in January 2015. The trial of Valery Permyakov has been going on for several months now and last week the lawyers of the legal successors to the Avetisyan family filed a motion on a civil claim against the Russian Federation. According to the lawyers, Russia is responsible for the actions of representatives of its military base stationed in Armenia.
The size of the claim is estimated at 50,000 euros ($55,000) for each adult member of the family, and at 100,000 euros ($110,000) for each of the infants – little Seryozha and Hasmik Avetisyans. The court postponed the consideration of the application till June 30.
Over the past few years Armenia has seen a number of civil and political protests connected with the policies of Russia. After the April war in Nagorno Karabakh three rallies were staged near the Russian Embassy in Yerevan to demand a halt to Russian arms deliveries to Azerbaijan and Moscow's fulfillment of its allied obligations towards Armenia.
Should probes be instituted on Ani Hovhannisyan's allegations and the Avetisyan family's application, it would become the first legal precedent for legal Armenian claims to Russia.


Does your employer have the right to demote you?
On behalf of The Zoldan Law Group PLLC posted in wrongful termination on Friday, May 11, 2018.
You likely know that it's illegal to terminate people's employment due to their race, religion, gender, disability and other protected statuses. You also can't be fired as retaliation for reporting illegal activities or sexual harassment in the workplace. However, it's also illegal to demote an employee for any of those reasons.
Of course, proving that either a demotion or termination was carried out for reasons forbidden under the law can be challenging. Most Arizona workers are "at-will" employees. That means that most people can be fired or demoted for essentially any reason besides the ones just discussed. Some people, however, have employment contracts that protect them from demotion and/or give them the opportunity to appeal a demotion.
A demotion can be deeply distressing emotionally, but also financially challenging. It often involves a reduction in salary or hours. It may involve going from a salaried position to an hourly one. You may lose perks such as eligibility for bonuses. Of course, you can also lose status among your colleagues -- which can sometimes be as difficult to deal with, if not more so, than the economic changes.
In most cases, as noted, employers have a wide berth in making adjustments to their workforce for the good of the company. When they believe that people haven't been performing up to par in their jobs, they may choose to move them to a position with less responsibility. Company reorganizations can lead to demotions as well.
If you believe you've been illegally demoted, your first step should be to go to human resources. There may be an appeal process or you may need to write an appeal letter yourself asking that the demotion be reconsidered. Be sure to have documentation of positive reviews and feedback to support your case.
If you aren't able to get the decision overturned within the company and you have evidence or strong reason to believe that you were demoted for illegal reasons, you may want to consult with an Arizona employment attorney. He or she can discuss your situation with you and review any legal options that may be appropriate.

Most electronic gadgets are not designed for recycling
Consumer demand for small devices has helped create a system where products are recycled via shredding, which is very much what it sounds like. Gadgets are essentially pulverized down to their smallest bits, after which relevant parts are scavenged for repurposing. It's neither cost-effective nor sustainable.
The prioritization of thinner and cheaper devices by electronics companies an consumers alike has made many of today's electronic devices almost impossible to recycle, the Huffington Post reports.
In today's system, 'recycling' used electronics often entails shredding them to tiny pieces, leaving only few useful parts to recycle. Jim Puckett of the Basel Action Network explains that responsible recycling is expensive, which leads many electronics recycling companies to resort to outsourcing the process to developing countries.
To find out more about the challenges to responsible recycling, read the full article over at the Huffington Post.

One of the most important steps to purchasing a car is to secure financing in Las Vegas. If you find the perfect car, and don't have a loan set up, the car may be sold out from under you before you have time to get the money secured. And obviously, without money, you can't purchase a car. But there is more that goes into financing with a bank than simply borrowing money. When you are considering which bank to borrow money from, keep a few things in the back of your mind.
The first is the interest rate the bank is offering. Auto loan rates will fluctuate based on the economy, and you can often shop around to find the one you want. A lower interest rate will mean a lower monthly payment, and less interest on the life of your loan. Basically, you pay less to borrow money for the car. Your first few years of payments may pay more interest than principal, and with a lower interest rate you can pay off your car more quickly than with a higher one.
Remember that banks want your business. If you are considering a bank, ask what perks they offer when you obtain financing in Las Vegas from them. Some credit unions may offer a month off from payments during Christmas time or back to school time. Some may pay you a percentage back on your loan for doing business with them. Some may offer automatic payment withdrawals and you can avoid the hassle of having to visit the bank to pay. Before you make a choice, discuss these things with the loan officer at the bank. Make sure you are getting not only the lowest interest rate, but also the best options for your loan.
When you are looking for financing in Las Vegas to purchase a car, remember that most banks will require you to have an account open with them before you can take out a loan. You may want to start at banks or credit unions that you currently bank with to avoid the hassle of having to switch accounts. But if you get a better deal from a different place, it may be worth switching your banking needs.
If you purchase your car through an established dealer, you may also have the option to do your financing in Las Vegas through them. Speak to the seller about your options, and you may be able to simplify the process by borrowing the money from the seller.
Taking the time to research interest rates and payment amounts can save you a significant amount of money in the future. With such a large purchase, you should do your homework.


Summary: A nutrition therapist presents a sensible guide for parents on how to help their daughters avoid eating disorders, introducing a series of specific tools, techniques, and examples designed to help teenage girls deal with the issue of weight and develop healthy, lifetime habits. Original.
I picked up this book used years ago but never got around to finishing it till now. It is all about helping your tween or teen girl to develop a healthy relationship with food.
In Part 1 you are introduced to the science of adolescent eating including what's normal eating for girls in puberty, what influences food choices, different kinds of hunger, exercise, dieting and more. Part 2 includes family meals, importance of cooking, breakfast conflicts, junk food and snacking. Part 3 is about the family's role and includes parental responsibility, dad and mom's roles, siblings' roles, what to do if YOU struggle with food and weight and how to handle holiday eating.
Part 4 is what to say and do when helping your daughter in certain situations like when she uses the bathroom scale, when she loses or gains weight, when she says she looks fat and ugly, when she is teased about her weight and more. Part 5 covers the basics of eating disorders.
The book does a good job of giving advice on potentially sensitive subjects. I shared some of what I read with my daughters (especially the parts about different types of hunger) just as it suggested. It helped me to learn what I could say that would helpful and what responses would hurt. The book focuses on staying curious which means asking questions that allow your daughter to open up and share how she's feeling, instead of putting your thoughts in her head.
Recommended for parents of girls ages 8+.

The borders between North Cyprus and South Cyprus are open, which means that people – visitors and locals alike – can freely cross between both sides of the island. This means that you get the opportunity to experience both cultures when you visit Cyprus. That being said, there are some regulations that you should be aware of before you go there.

Pelosi introduces "Iran protection act" to defend terrorists and blame Trump, even when Dems did NOTHING while Obama killed enemies
Tuesday, January 07, 2020 by: JD Heyes
Tags: American troops, democrats, drone strike, Iran, Iraq, Iraq War, Joseph Dunford, Nancy Pelosi, President Trump, Qassem Soleimani, targeting, Tehran, terrorism, terrorist activities
(Natural News) On Monday, conservative talk radio behemoth Rush Limbaugh reminded listeners that Democrats who are criticizing President Donald Trump over his decision to take out one of our country's biggest enemies are showing all of us just who they really are.
He noted:
So what happened? The president kills a well-known terrorist who is responsible for the death of hundreds of Americans, including uniformed military personnel, and the left melts down. The left has a breakdown. If anybody is puzzled by this, all you have to do is go back to when Trump came down the escalator on June 15th of 2016 and announced his slogan Make America Great Again. Remember how controversial that was?
The point he was making is this: Democrats hate America as it was founded, they've always hated America, and now they're just open and brazen about it, claiming that 'Trump is responsible for our transition.'
But by their actions they defy their own explanations.
It's one thing to oppose the president on political and policy issues. Democrats have constituents too, after all — people who voted for them to represent them a certain way on key issues.
However, it's something else entirely to put our country at risk then couch your actions in 'political opposition.'
On Monday following President Trump's order to target Iranian Gen. Qassem Soleimani, former head of the Quds Force, responsible for thousands of deaths and maiming of Americans, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi sent a letter to her unhinged caucus explaining that she would be introducing a resolution to tie the president's hands when it comes to dealing with Iran.
She also accused the Trump administration of taking "provocative and disproportionate" action against the Iranian general, Soleimani, who actually took "provocative and disproportionate" action in Iraq when he was supplying insurgents with Iranian-made weapons to kill American troops.
'That blood is in Iran's hands'
In addition, Pelosi said in her letter that the resolution would "mandate that if no further Congressional action is taken, the Administration's military hostilities with regard to Iran cease within 30 days."
We like to call this the "Iran Protection Act" because for all intents and purposes, that's what it is.
That's all it is. And it's a disgrace.
Trump, by his actions targeting Soleimani, is actually trying to prevent a war. In Soleimani's killing, which also resulted in the deaths of several other top Iranian military commanders, the president sent the Iranian regime an unmistakable message: The days of putting up with Iranian aggression and provocations is over.
According to an analysis published in Arab News, Soleimani's death "leaves Iran's strategy" to dominate the region "in tatters."
"The killing of Quds Force Commander Qassim Soleimani and Iraqi paramilitary leader Abu-Mahdi Al-Muhandis changes everything. With one fell blow Trump has taken out the two dominant figures exporting Iranian militancy across the region," Baria Alamudden wrote.
Also, Soleimani and the militant minions he used as Iranian proxies have been targeting Americans and American interests for nearly two decades. In 2015, CNS News reported that a U.S. Marine general blamed Soleimani for 14 percent of U.S. troop fatalities in Iraq.
"According to the [U.S.] Central Command, at least 196 U.S. service members were killed in Iraq by Iranian-made explosive-formed penetrators (EFPs) from 2003 to 2011," Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) said during a Senate Judiciary subcommittee hearing.
He added that around the same time Marine Gen. Joseph Dunford testified that about 500 U.S. troops in sum were killed "by Iranian activities."
"That blood is in Iran's hands," the general said.
That Left-wing Democrats like Pelosi are attempting to tie the president's hands in dealing with Iran after ignoring the way in which their President enabled and empowered that murderous regime for eight years is the textbook definition of 'providing aid and comfort' to an enemy.

With the increasing amount of experienced teachers and yoga teacher training graduates, it can be challenging to stand out in the market for yoga studios, particularly if you wish to teach at a busy one.
It is, however, possible to position yourself in such a way that you can attract positive attention from studio owners when you apply for a teaching position. Careful reflection about what makes your teaching distinctive, a clear sense of yourself as a teacher and staying open to different positions in a studio can help you with your studio job application process.
The first step in getting hired by a yoga studio is to identify which studio you would like to teach in. Then learn as much as possible about it, including its administration and overall style. Take classes from different teachers and ask one of them who you can talk to about teaching there yourself.
It is a good idea to try to take a class from a the studio owner and follow it up with an email describing what you liked about his or her class. State why you feel you would be a good fit for teaching at the studio, as well as what you can contribute to its community.
Be sure to mention where you completed your yoga teacher training, your yoga teaching experience (where and for how long you have taught) and what levels and styles you teach.
List your primary teaching influences and talk about any experience you have teaching certain populations, like teenagers, cancer survivors or senior citizens. It is also a good idea to describe any extensive experience you have in another field, such as medicine, training dolphins or dancing professionally.
It also helps to build a student base and experience in other settings when you want to work for a yoga studio. You can teach classes in community centers, corporations and fitness clubs to gain experience and clients. Invite students to be part of your email list serv to keep them informed about your class offerings.
When you approach a yoga studio owner, doing all this will serve to help you demonstrate your marketability as a teacher and the number of potential students you could bring to the studio.
In your first contact with a yoga studio, offer to do a demonstration class to help the owners feel comfortable with you before thinking about hiring you to teach. In this class, provide a good representation of your teaching style. Illustrate your ability to teach many different levels, not just advanced yoga.
Be sure to offer valuable teaching gems in your class, whether in the form of inspiring passages, poignant stories or uplifting metaphors. Give good verbal corrections and hands-on assists to students.
Connect with the students more than trying to approach teaching the class as a mere performance. Take a moment before the demo class to re-connect with the reasons why you wish to teach yoga to help you feel less intimidated and more connected to your students when you teach. Yoga studios want to hire teachers who have a special spark or quality that can inspire students to follow a yogic way of life.
Be flexible when seeking employment from a yoga studio. Many studio teachers start out by volunteering, doing work study programs or substitute teaching. Be open to an array of assignments to begin. This way, you can get your feet wet and give the studio a chance to receive feedback from students on their reactions to you.
Substitute teaching in particular can give you an opportunity to determine whether you really want to work at the yoga studio you have chosen to teach at. It can also demonstrate your positive qualities and openness. Being available to substitute teach can give you a chance to prove your flexibility, enthusiasm and reliability, all of which can make you a valuable employee of any organization.
When you are given a teaching slot at a yoga studio, try not to be too selective about the days or times of the week you are given. Treat the experience of teaching as an internship and learn as much as you can.

About Michael J. Fox
As an actor, Michael J. Fox defined the eighties for us on both the big and little screens; first, as Alex P. Keaton, the endearing and enthusiastic Republican son on television's Family Ties, and second, in Back to the Future as young Marty McFly in the time-travel blockbuster trilogy. His legions of fans were understandably elated to have him back 1995 as Michael Flaherty in the smash hit Spin City.
What his fans didn't know was that Fox had been diagnosed with Parkinson's disease in 1991. Dreading sensationalistic publicity, he decided with his family and his doctors that they would keep the diagnosis under wraps. Seven years after the diagnosis, Fox decided it was time to announce his disease to the public in a move that would have radical implications not only for his own life, but for the future for all people suffering with Parkinson's.
In response to that announcement came a tidal outpouring of empathy and concern from the public, and Michael J. Fox knew he had the opportunity to turn his personal battle into a global fight on behalf of every person who suffers from degenerative neurological disorders. With his wife, Tracy Pollan, Michael established the Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson's Research. This foundation has become the largest not-for-profit funder of Parkinson's disease research.
Fox's courage in coming forward, combined with his charm, humility, and natural optimism, have succeeded in moving the frontiers of science and raised awareness about Parkinson's exponentially. He knows there is a cure within reach and is committed to doing whatever it takes to get us there.
Debi Brooks
by Michael J. Fox
I think that a lot of times people think of heroes as larger-than-life individuals who do the extraordinary. I'm like everybody else in that respect and my larger-than-life heroes are the same as a lot of people--Martin Luther King, Jr.; Mohandas K. Gandhi; and Rosa Parks.
Muhammad Ali is another great hero of mine. He is an imperfect man, but he has taken powerful stands in the most basic human way and with such dignity. When I finally met him and spoke with him, it was tremendously humbling.
But in addition to those heroes who act on a grand scale, there is another breed—the everyday heroes. They serve as a moral compass, pointing the way to right thinking and right action in our daily lives.
My older brother Steve is one of these heroes for me. He and his wife Laureen did nothing more than raise a son who was born with spinal bifida--but raised him with such patience and love and commitment, without self-pity or a sense of martyrdom. They just loved their son and raised him.
Michael J. Fox & Debi Brooks (Courtesy of the Michael J. Fox Foundation, photo by Mark Seliger)
Those are the same values my parents had. Now that I'm a parent, they are even greater heroes to me. They raised five kids on a military salary, moved all across Canada, and still managed to create a strong family bond that endures to this day. My wife, Tracy, and I are raising four kids with far more resources, luxuries, and time, and I hope that we do as good a job.
And then there's Debi Brooks, the president and CEO of our foundation. When I started the Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson's Research, I thought we needed someone with a personal connection to the disease. So the first question I asked Debi was, "Do you know anyone with Parkinson's?" I was surprised to learn that Debi had no direct experience of this disease, nor any family member of close friend afflicted, which is often the spur that leads someone to get personally involved. This is one of the things that I find most remarkable about Debi. It is rare to find someone who can commit as strongly and as passionately as she does without having that sort of personal interest in the cause.
Debi has taken on this fight as though her own life and the lives of those closest to her were on the line. She's also got what it takes to back up those good intentions. A brilliant operational and strategic planner, she knows how to marshal ideas and people toward a common goal.
The decision to work with us to cure Parkinson's has required sacrifice, both personally and financially. The skills, dedication, heart, and integrity she brings to the Foundation would guarantee her wild success wherever she applied herself—but Debi looked beyond those traditional trappings. She is always going full throttle and it has nothing to do with applause or being in the spotlight or getting credit--for her it is all about getting the job done.
In a very real way, Debi is fighting my fight and I couldn't ask for a better champion and partner to stand up to Parkinson's. She is truly a force of nature and I often joke that we are fortunate that she chooses to use her powers for good.
All my heroes--Debi, my brother, and my parents, Ali, and the rest—have become a personal reference library of instinct and actions. Very often I ask myself in the immediate sense, "How would Steve or my father look at this?" Or in the bigger sense, "How would Gandhi deal with this?" So if there is a common trait among all my heroes it is this: They are all people who become extraordinary by virtue of their willingness to stand up and fight for the right thing: fight for freedom; justice and equality; fight against disease or against the odds to keep their families whole and safe. What could be more heroic than that?

History of Holy Cross
Our community began worshiping together as The Church of the Holy Cross in 1967. As the parish and greater community grew, the need for a parish school was felt. In August 1986, Holy Cross Catholic School opened its doors to 128 students from kindergarten to sixth grade in the former Valley View school building that was purchased from the Shawnee Mission School District.
We soon outgrew our original building and in the summer of 1999, construction began to renovate the building, convert the old gymnasium into a multipurpose room with a new kitchen, and build a new gymnasium and three classrooms. We also made the entire building handicapped-accessible, and renovated the building to the east of the main school which now houses our Early Education Center. In 2010, all of the school building windows were replaced and the air conditioning was upgraded as the result of a generous donation from two school families.
We currently have an enrollment of 226 children in preschool through eighth grade.

MATSUI asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 minute.) Ms. MATSUI. Mr. Speaker, for far too long our country has ignored the blatant warning signals that climate change is real, and its effects are happening all around us, from droughts to wildfires to extreme flooding. The time to act is now. Numerous reports indicate that we are dangerously close to losing the window of opportunity in which we can meaningfully address climate change.
My district of Sacramento has already been working hard to implement commonsense policies that reduce greenhouse gas emissions. By developing cutting-edge clean energy technology and creating energy retrofit programs, my constituents understand the urgent need to tackle this issue head-on.
Now is the time for Congress to follow their lead and show that we, too, are committed to mitigating and reversing the devastating effects of climate change. Failure to heed new warnings and take action will have drastic economic and environmental effects, not just for our generation, but for our children and grandchildren. The time to act is now.
